The war horn sounded throughout the fortress, and all the soldiers in the army mobilized.
Tens of thousands of archers quickly and orderly boarded the shooting window, and various ballista equipment were prepared.
At this time, Lin Yun had just finished his morning tea and was discussing the plan for the Northern Expedition with the King of Southern Xia and Murong Tuohai.
The King of Southern Xia had already planned to implement the Northern Expedition plan as soon as the King of Zhen returned from Beizhou in triumph.
However, the sudden attack of the Northern Yan army completely disrupted the Nanxia King's plan and caught him off guard.
He never thought that Beiyan had just sent troops to attack Beizhou and would launch an attack on the front line so soon.
"The Northern Yan army is attacking, and there are many dangers on the battlefield. For the sake of your majesty and the princess's safety, I ask that your majesty and the princess be escorted back to the royal city by the Royal Forest Army." Nangong Shiguo hurriedly arrived and asked for orders from the king of Nanxia.
The King of Nanxia had no intention of retreating: "All the soldiers in the army know that I am coming. Now that the enemy is in front of us, if I shrink back timidly, wouldn't it damage the morale of the front army? How can I, the King of Nanxia, lose face?"
"Old general, there is no need to persuade me. Today, my king will personally supervise the battle and join forces with the soldiers from the front army fortress to fight against the enemy!"
Although Nangong died for his country and was worried about the safety of the King of Nanxia, the withdrawal of the King of Nanxia now would indeed undermine the majesty of the king and also affect the morale of the army.
After all, the King of Nanxia is a strong King of Martial Arts. One person is stronger than thousands of troops. It is absolutely no problem to protect himself, not to mention that he is surrounded by imperial guards.
Thinking of this, Nangong Shiguo no longer tried to persuade him, and immediately turned around and walked out of the main base, and began to mobilize his troops and generals to prepare for the battle.
Waves of shocking war drums came from the horizon, as deafening as thunder, making people feel extremely depressed.
The size of Beiyan's army was unprecedentedly large, covering the entire grassland as far as the eye could see, dozens of miles from end to end, with at least 800,000 troops.
When he saw the size of the enemy's army, even Nangong, who had experienced hundreds of battles, felt frightened.
Eight hundred thousand troops, what is this concept?
The Southern Xia Kingdom devoted all its troops to only one million troops. Among them, 500,000 were guarding the front line, and the remaining 500,000 were distributed throughout the country.
The Beiyan Kingdom first sent an army of 400,000 to attack Beizhou, and then sent an army of 800,000 to attack the front line.
The scale of these two legions alone exceeds one million troops, exceeding the total military strength of the entire country of Southern Xia. An attack of this scale is obviously a full-scale invasion.
The last time Northern Yan fully invaded Southern Xia was three hundred years ago, when it was ruled by the Dongfang family. That time, Southern Xia was almost destroyed.
After three hundred years of silence, Beiyan finally broke out again and launched a second full-scale invasion of Southern Xia.
But this time, Nan Xia will not repeat the same mistakes and let the tragedy of three hundred years ago happen again.
Because today's Nanxia is no longer the Nanxia that did not want to make progress and was complacent.
Today's Southern Xia military strength cannot be underestimated, and it also has an indestructible steel fortress. It will no longer be caught off guard by the Northern Yan army as it was three hundred years ago.
Nangong Shiguo was very confident in the current Nanxia, but he couldn't figure out why Beiyan didn't concentrate all its forces to attack the former army fortress, and why it allocated 400,000 to attack Beizhou?
Could it be that the leader of Beiyan believed that an army of 800,000 was enough to break through the fortress of the former army?
As he thought about it, a white light flashed in Nangong Shiguo's mind, and he seemed to understand everything in an instant.
What is Beiyan most afraid of Nanxia?
There is no doubt that he is the king of Zhenguo!
The King of Zhenguo, who is at the level of the sixth-level Martial King, is not only the strongest man in Southern Xia, but also unrivaled in Northern Yan.
Of course, what makes Bei Yan most fearful is not the terrifying strength of Lord Zhen Guo, but the miraculous military strategy of Lord Zhen Guo.
In a certain battle, Lord Zhen Guo used only 30,000 troops and annihilated the enemy's 100,000 troops with nearly zero casualties, and successfully won the battle.
I would like to ask, how can Beiyan not be afraid of such divine generals?
Therefore, the purpose of Beiyan's attack on Beizhou was actually to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
The royal city is only a few hundred miles away from the former army fortress. If the former army fortress encounters an emergency, the King of Zhen will lead the most mobile Gale Cavalry Regiment and advance at full speed to arrive with support within two hours.
The royal city is thousands of miles away from Beizhou. The king of Zhen led his army to Beizhou and it was impossible to turn back within a day or two.
Beiyan first led the army to invade Beizhou, and lured the Zhenguo King and the Gale Cavalry Regiment over, making them fall into the battle situation in Beizhou. Then he sent an army of 800,000 to storm the fortress of the Southern Xia Army.
It is no longer possible to receive support, and the chance of being breached is also greatly increased.
All of this is obviously part of Beiyan's strategic plan, and Nanxia has fallen into the trap strategically!
Although Nangong Shiguo had figured out this problem, now that the war is imminent, it is too late to say anything.
In just a few minutes, the overwhelming Beiyan army arrived at the city.
Nangong died for his country without thinking any more. He immediately stepped onto the general command platform and began to command the entire army to fight: "The entire army is ready!"
Seeing Nangong die for his country and ascending to the general command podium, all the officers and soldiers in the army seemed to have taken reassurance, and their panic calmed down.
In the Eastern War, Nangong was domineering, Shangguan was cold-blooded, and Hua was ruthless. The four generals who controlled the country also performed their duties and deployed defenses in their respective fortresses.
Lin Yun also took out the skull sword and prepared to rush directly into the enemy army and start killing.
After cultivating the "Immortal Divine Body" to the completion of the Golden Steel Body, Lin Yun's body can now ignore any attacks under the Martial King Realm.
No matter how many enemy troops there are, they are meaningless in front of Lin Yun. Even if they charge directly into the enemy troops, there will be no danger.
Just as Lin Yun was about to rush out of the fortress, his body suddenly stiffened, and he froze on the spot as if he had been electrocuted.
The King of Nanxia immediately discovered Lin Yun's abnormality and hurriedly asked Lin Yun: "What's wrong?"
"Oops, the giant bloodline has awakened." As Lin Yun spoke, the skin all over his body began to overflow with black and red blood drops.
"What?!" The King of Nanxia hurriedly walked to Lin Yun and stared at Lin Yun's body excitedly.
Lin Yun truthfully recounted: "While training in the secret realm of Southern Xia, I completed the mission in the secret realm, and the reward I received was the bloodline of the giant."
"There is such a good thing?!" The King of Nan Xia looked full of envy and jealousy. Lin Yun not only had the blood of the demon dragon, but now he also had the blood of the ancient giant. If he did not use it as his consort, it would be a waste of blood.
Lin Yun shook his head at this time, and said with a solemn expression: "After the blood transplantation, it will not awaken immediately, but will take a while. Unfortunately, the giant bloodline in my body happened to awaken at this time.
.”
"And in the process of awakening, my bloodline will reshape my body. So in the next period of time, I'm afraid I won't be able to play an important role in the battle."
